N.J. Trump delegate: Women 'not interested' in politics | The Auditor

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump is increasingly having trouble attracting female voters, and a New Jersey delegate for the tycoon has an intriguing theory about why.

In an interview with the New Jersey Herald last week, Jill Space, a Trump delegate from New Jersey's 5th congressional district who backed Gov. Chris Christie until he dropped out, offered up her rationale.

"He's not appealing to women, and I think a lot of it is that women are just not interested in politics," Space said.

Just 47 percent of Republican women view Trump positively, according to a new ABC News/Washington Post poll.
